Ashley Boyan Photography 
  • Fine art style
  • Serves Oak City, NC

I'm a fine art destination wedding photographer; intensely passionate about preserving those fleeting moments, intimate details and loved ones throughout a wedding that make the day unforgettable. I believe there is a delicate balance between letting the day unfold while supporting you through the process to create a lovely collection of meaningful keepsakes. I married my now business partner and best friend of twelve years on a warm summer evening in August beneath two immense magnolia trees. We currently spend our time between an old farmhouse in the heart of wine and hunt country and Lake Norman with our dog Endo, two cats and two horses.

We're that hilarious couple who will leave a smile on your face. Hi there! Because we are living one of our own! 8 years ago, we met on Tinder and immediately connected over a shared love of off-roading and storytelling. Kenny would document our adventures Jeeping across Georgia on video while I snapped photos along the way. It didn’t take long to recognize we had a special ability to capture the fullness of a story by collaborating through our favorite mediums. Today, we explore the rolling countryside of our home state (and beyond!), bringing our warm and fun-loving personalities to elegant wedding celebrations. And we hope yours is next!

Hi there, I’m Zaida and I’m a full time wedding, portrait and lifestyle photographer (yes, I do destination weddings) based in Fredericksburg, VA and I do travel wherever you need me! I am married to a handsome man and I’m also a mom. I am from the Dominican Republic, raised in the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. I capture special moments with creativity and a uniqueness that separates me from the rest. I love to travel, spend time with my husband, play with my little ones, eat and I have a sweet tooth!

Awarded Best of Zola
Zaida and her husband were incredible. I couldn’t ask for a better team to capture our big day! We discussed expectations and a shot list beforehand and they exceeded my expectations. The sneak peak arrived less than a week after the wedding and the final edits were delivered on time! Not only did they make both me and my husband feel comfortable in front of the camera, but by the end of the night they felt like family. If you’re debating which photographer to go with, Zaida is the one. Highly recommend!

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

We couldn’t be happier with the incredible work Portraits by Sean did on our wedding day! From start to finish, he was professional, creative, and so easy to work with. Sean stayed until the very end of the night, capturing every special moment without ever making us feel rushed. One of the things we really appreciated was how he worked with the kids—getting them to smile and be comfortable without any stress. Their ability to blend in while also capturing candid, beautiful moments was outstanding. We were blown away by the quality of the photos, and they truly exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Portraits by Sean to anyone looking for a talented and reliable photographer to capture the magic of their day!

My name is Ali Cushing, a NY-based photographer, working near and far, capturing life, love, and letting people be themselves. My goal first and foremost is contributing to you having a wonderful experience and getting to live in the moment by being first your friend, and second your photographer; making the photos about the day and not the day about the photos. I approach each opportunity with personalized care and whatever your photographic goals and day's plans, I’d love to be a part of and to document your story. All couples of all genders, ethnicities, ages, faiths, shapes and abilities, are more than welcome.

Awarded Best of Zola
I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Ali! She reached out to me on Zola and I am so glad she did. I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.

Hey, I’m Savannah! I’ve been photographing weddings since 2016, and somewhere along the way, it became the love of my life (well, one of them). I’m all about honest storytelling—documenting the real stuff, the in-between moments, the things you didn’t even realize were happening. My style is documentary with a creative edge, and my approach is simple: get to know you, show up with intention, and create photos that feel like you. If you’re into big feelings, warm tones, and someone who will hype you up while also fixing your flyaways, we’ll get along just fine.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we first spoke with Savannah, we knew we were in good hands. Her communication style was clear, open, and extremely organized, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. On the day of our wedding, Savannah's friendly and calming presence was invaluable - she helped set the tone and kept everything running smoothly so that all the special moments were captured beautifully. The quality of her work is truly unique and personal; it's evident that Savannah takes the time to get to know each couple she works with. The final photos were nothing short of stunning, and we've continued to enjoy following Savannah’s creative work even after our big day. We couldn't recommend her more highly - you'll definitely have no regrets booking Savannah and her team for your wedding!

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

Not only is Diana incredibly talented, but she is also an absolute joy to work with. She made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire day, and her professionalism and attention to detail were unmatched. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and it truly shows in the final results. If you're looking for a photographer who is passionate, creative, and dedicated to capturing your most special moments, look no further than Diana Marie Photography. We are beyond grateful for her work and cannot recommend her highly enough! Thank you, Diana, for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!

Awarded Best of Zola
Our experience with Arie was truly more than we could have ever imagined! My fiancé and I were somewhat nervous before our engagement photos as we don’t feel the most natural in front of a camera. From the moment Arie started taking our pictures she made us feel comfortable, set an atmosphere of peace and calm, and gave us the instruction we needed while also being ourselves. She captured every vision I had and shared via my Pinterest board and took my input into account at all times. I felt heard and seen like Arie really cared about what we wanted and what made us feel our best. Arie was also really creative and didn’t hesitate to share her vision with us. I could not have wished for a better experience or a more personable photographer to make our engagement photos so special!

What if your photos actually looked and felt like you? Picture yourself 10 years from now on your wedding anniversary looking back at your wedding album with tears welling up in your eyes as you relive your day. Your wedding should not feel like a performance. Let go of boring wedding traditions, think outside of the box and create something unique that has never been done before. Whatever the perfect day looks like for you, why shouldn’t that be your wedding day? I am more than your wedding photographer, I am your guide, biggest fan, and the curator of your love story, I will also be the one tearing up from behind my lens.

Our experience with Danielle was nothing short of incredible! She captured our October wedding in Maine so beautifully, and the photos perfectly reflect who we are as a couple. From the moment we started working with her, she made us feel completely at ease. And provided a lot of additional unexpected guidance to help prep for our big day. She has an amazing ability to balance capturing those sweet, genuine moments with showcasing our silly side, all while making us look absolutely stunning. Nothing felt forced or overly staged—just natural and real. Her guidance during the shoot was spot-on, and the final photos blew us away. If you’re planning a wedding in New England, we can’t recommend Moon Rising Photography enough. Danielle is not only talented but also so much fun to work with. Our memories from that day wouldn’t be the same without her! And we look forward to continuing to hire her for any and all major life events!

We interviewed Erica and Neil before selecting our photographers. They knocked it out of the park. They were prepared, professional, and most importantly, personable. I feel like we had friends with us the whole time. I lack any creative bones so thank the Lord Erica and Neil are so awesome at what they do. We were stress free during pictures thanks to them and they gave us highlight pictures immediately after the wedding. Our shots were done and ready for us to see in weeks, not months, and they are BEAUTIFUL. Erica's team are above and beyond in service and communication, they lent ears when we had to change our date and things felt crazy.

When I was a kid all I wanted to be was a photographer (or a vet) and in 2019 o my husband gave me that opportunity. I left my corporate job to pursue my passion. I started a pet sitting business AND a photography business at the same time and I think it's safe to say that right now I am living the dream. I have three beautiful cats and a wonderful husband who supports me in whatever I do.

What a dream Emilee was to work with, from start to finish. OUR CEREMONY PARTY: we decided on a private, courthouse elopement on a Wednesday, a 60 person reception party on a Friday. In both, our biggest priority was having a photographer capture the intimate, joyful small details. We went with Emilee because of her eye for the beauty in the small things. She captured both our days perfectly. DOCUMENTARY STYLE: Emilee was perfect behind the scenes, capturing beautiful moments of our friends and family, small details of the courthouse with just us. I look back at some of these photos and ask "how did she even get that?!" She has such an eye. POSED: We had about 20 minutes dedicated to posed, family photos during our reception. Emilee had our families relaxed and laughing, quickly swapping members in and out. In some newlywed photos, we sought her advice for how to pose. She gave quick direction, made us feel confident, and always found the perfect light. COMMUNICATION SPEED: Delivered on every promise, quick replies. Emilee was 15 minutes early to both locations, we never had to worry. PERSONALLY: We met with Emilee about 4 months before our big days. We had coffee, talked about our vision and our biggest priorities. She immediately felt like a friend, and knew she was firmly on our team. If you're looking for a photographer to capture not only beautiful photos of yourself, but more importantly, the feeling in every room, Emilee is the photographer for you. We recommend wholeheartedly, and can't wait for another occasion to work with her. Sincerely, Mara James
